When she had finished her story Vee had asked, "And your question?" Maria blurted out, "How can someone be like that?"
Vee stared at her and said, "You have had an encounter with a crippled heart. Hearts become crippled through injury."
Vee had gone on to explain that these injuries are usually inflicted by other crippled hearts and that during an encounter with a crippled heart that one must exercise caution so as not to also become crippled.
He had talked about crippled hearts and hearts that walk, saying that each could influence the other during situational encounters.
A crippled heart might help to cripple a heart that walked if the encounter was not handled correctly and mirroring occurred. A heart that walked, that made it through the encounter without mirroring, was a heart that was strengthened.
Maria remembered the words that Vee had spoken that day. "The heart that uses encounters with crippled hearts to its own advantage can reach a point where it no longer walks."
Vee had reached for a small backpack that was beside the pillow he was sitting on. He opened a side pocket, fished around inside, pulled out something small, and passed it to her across the table. She held it in her hand and looked down at it. It was a golden winged heart.
The winged heart's wingspan made it slightly smaller than a penny and it was about the same thickness. She had gone to pass it back to him and Vee had said, "It is yours."
Vee told her that a winged heart could see through the masks of the crippled hearts. This gave the winged heart a decisive advantage in all encounters. "A winged heart can help the lame to walk."
